Jerry Jeff Walker - London Homesick Blues guitar chord

London Homesick Blues

Written by Gary P. Nunn

Performed by Jerry Jeff Walker

G

Well when you’re down on your luck you ain’t got a buck

D

in London you’re a goner now even London bridge is falling down

G C

you move to Arizona and I know what

C

and I’ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is

G

drier than the Texas sand

Em Cm

you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots

D

but I’m leavin’ just as fast as I can now

Chorus:

D C Em Am

I wanna go home with the armadilla’

C D G

good country music from Amarilla and Abilene

C D G

the friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen

Verse 2:

G D

Well it’s cold over here and I swear I wish they’d turn the heat on

D G C

and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor

C G

and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar

Em Cm D

My heart keeps roamin’ my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar

Chorus

Verse 3

G D

Well I decided that I’d get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station

D

cause when a Texan fancies he’ll take his chances

G C

chances will be takin’ that’s for sure

C G

and them limey eyes they were eyein’ the prize some people call manly foot wear

Em Cm

and they said you’re from down south and when you open your mouth

D

you always seem to put your foot there

Chorus

(Repeated several times)
